800m+ Running and/or Conditioning / Re: fastest known times - ultrarunning
« on: February 05, 2019, 12:38:08 am »Came across this article in Outside about a rash of "FKTs" in ultra running last year: https://www.outsideonline.com/2386976/fkt-fastest-known-time-records-appalachian-trailQuoteFor many, it seemed a foregone conclusion that Karel Sabbe would be awarded the male FKTOY for his herculean showing on the AT. The 28-year-old Belgian dentist and relative newcomer to the world of ultra-running did what many people thought was impossible: he not only bested Joe “Stringbean” McConaughy’s seemingly unbeatable 2017 record, but he did so by four full days. Sabbe’s FKT time stands at 41 days, 7 hours, and 39 minutes. He ran through some particularly awful weather in the White Mountains and was up before dawn every day, finishing his miles before sunset.
The AT is 2,200 miles long. He averaged a little under 54 miles per day for more than a month with no days off.
that's incredible, especially in that terrain.QuoteNext frontier, adarq?
no. lol.
haha you say that now. but if/when you start traveling for races, especially if they're ultras, i bet you get tempted...

it wasn't a shin splint. i had those in high school. this was too localized.
good call on the neck mobility. i carry a lot of tension in my scalenes especially. couldn't hurt to work on them a bit.

^^ tekashi 69 news.
funny and "sad", what a moron. let his stupid trash rap suck him into trying to be a legit gang member. that's nuts.
i am too old to be hip with the kids and also i've lived overseas for most of the rise of that kind of rap, so this article was enlightening for me: https://www.gq.com/story/soundcloud-rap-boom-times.
also seems 6ix9ine participated in gangbang of a 13-year-old girl (apparently he didn't have sex with her, just appeared in a video "fondling the breasts and smacking the butt" of the girl). he uploaded some of the videos to social media. https://jezebel.com/details-in-child-sex-complaint-against-rapper-6ix9ine-c-1821245294.

aaaand today i'm really sick. woke up in the middle of the night with terrible neck pain and bad headache, was awake for a while, woke up again at a normal time and still with the headache. i took an ibuprofen and a sumatriptan (although it didn't feel like a migraine) and went back to bed until 1:30 PM. i'm functional now but head still hurts. maybe this is my body's way of saying, okay bud 40+ km for a few weeks is great and now it's time to dial it back before raising volume again.

track is just a wee bit quicker than the road/sidewalk. 5:00 very comfortable average pace (range 4:57-5:05). my neck has been really stiff the last two days and while running today my right shin started bothering me, about 4" above the front of my ankle. still sore right on the edge of the bone. and my right hip and IT band feel a little janky. our bed broke so we've been sleeping on the guest bed, which has a much harder mattress. my gf loves it but i prefer the soft spring mattress. will go get a replacement beam tomorrow and hopefully the stiffness will resolve.
tomorrow will be the weekly hard workout. i've been thinking about the two-mile test and going for 12:XX, which would be sub-20 5k pace. but i don't think i'm fit enough yet. may do a repeat of last week's workout but trying to stay under 4:00 pace for the last hard rep.

had a dunking dream last night. i walked into my elementary school gym, with my 4th-5th grade gym teacher already there setting up for class. i was going to participate in class. we greeted each other warmly -- he was a good teacher -- and then he kept placing cones or whatever. i was the first person to arrive other than him. there was a basketball hoop, and i decided to see how much height i'd lost on my vertical since i stopped training. to my surprise i got a couple knuckles cleanly over the rim on my first jump. he looked up and said, something like, "wow, nice jump." i said, "i used to be able to get higher, but now i'm only running so my vert's gone down." but i tried again and got even higher, mid-palm. by this point the gym was filling up with classmates, all also adults. we huddled in the corner (oddly, in retrospect, but it felt normal in the dream) waiting for class to start but i decided to try one more jump. i got at least an inch past my wrist, as high as i ever jumped in real life. i was shocked and amazed and really happy that i could still jump so high.
then i woke up.
then i woke up.
